"I think there was more freedom of thought and a freer exchange of ideas 30 years ago than today."

Well, it was more like 45 years ago for me. Actually, we had Miss Grundy back then, too, along with Deacon Pincenez.

Sometimes, just sometimes, these folks go too far in trying to keep their precious little teenagers from finding anything out. Grease? That is a G-rated play. So is the Shakespeard and "The Crucible." There's not a thing in any of them that should give offense to any civilized human being.

It's just stupid.

Actually, A Midsummer Night's Dream is probably PG-13... but still, these are high schoolers.

You did read the article right?

this wasn't about 'trying to keep their precious little teenagers from finding anything' out...she was told by her administrator (aka boss) to find a more family-friendly play...this wasn't something the kids were reading for class or putting on for class--it was for the community. You know the one in which 6 year olds as well as 60 year olds live.
